Monaco dominated Olympiacos in Game 2 at Piece and Friendship Stadium and evened the EuroLeague playoff series (1-1).
The Monegasques played tremendously on both ends and cruised to an easy road win (72-96).
After a poor start to the game (16-10), the visitors turned things and took over on both ends.
They went on a 0-20 run in the second quarter to take the lead and never look back (21-35).

The series is now tied (1-1) and moves to Monaco for Games 3 and 4 next week.
If either team wins both, they will advance to the Final Four. If Olympiacos wins just one, they will reclaim the home-court advantage and force a Game 5.
